A piece I wrote this summer over at the Digital Feminist Collective:
https://digitalfeministcollective.net/index.php/2018/07/02/empathy/
“Empathy.” “I am suspicious of this feeling. Can you ever feel me? Can I ever feel you? What is this feeling, and what alliances might it motivate? Can empathy play a role in decolonized solidarities? Does it rely on shared vulnerability? To whom do we feel obligation? To what extent? In what way does that sense of ethical obligation rely on empathy? How does empathy function as an emotional force that compels one to move? What role can it play in our feminist communities-to-come?”
